agree  Henry Hinds
15 mins
  -> Hello and thanks Henry
agree  pawlik: Without "blood"
6 hrs
  -> Thanks pawlik
agree  argosys: Preferably "first degree of consanguinity," used by lawyers.
6 days
  -> Good morning and thanks argosys. Since it was for an employee program, I chose a wording that was legally sound but that would be understandable. I had seen it used in product contests in supermarkets.

familiares directos de primer grado de consanguineidad
first-degree relatives


Explanation:
This seems a much simpler and less awkward way of putting it, especially in the context of a workplace safety program, and there are 523,000 hits for the phrase on Yahoo.

Suerte.

agree  Tara Orzolek: Yes, for its simplicity; also "immediate family" would work.
1 hr
  -> Thank you, Tara.
agree  Emilio Schulder: Simple & accurate
2 hrs
  -> Thank you, Berelis.
neutral  philgoddard: I don't think most people would know exactly what this means. Does it include grandparents, for example?
3 hrs
  -> The same problem applies to the other translation suggestions made here. And since some explanation will be in order in any case, it seems to me to make more sense to explain a simple term, rather than a convoluted expression.
disagree  pawlik: No, from what I've seen this appears to include cousins Sorry, I meant siblings: it's someone who shares half your genes, and siblings are included. "primero grado" doesn't include siblings.
5 hrs
  -> I don't think so.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, and I think you would need to define exactly who was included. There's no easily understandable equivalent of this in English.
1 hr
  -> Than you, Phil. Yes, I think you might need to gloss 'immediate family', maybe in brackets after it.
agree  Coralia Polanco: I agree with this term. Inmediate family refers to those within the family that live together in the same house.
2 hrs
  -> Yes, I've seen that as a definition too. Thank you.
disagree  pawlik: No, the Spanish is very specific. It only includes parents and children (and the spouse)
2 hrs
  -> I'm not sure it is that specific. The safest thing would be to list all those relatives who qualify by asking the client/company.
agree  Ruth Ramsey: I would go with this.
18 hrs

parents, spouses or children


Explanation:
If you don't like the expression "kindred" or "kindship", this what the term means, as spouses are included.

For anyone who's interested, this is a Spanish chart for degree of kinship: http://www.feccoo-madrid.org/servlets/VerFichero?id=1098

And this is an American chart: http://www.sdsos.gov/electionsvoteregistration/electvoterpdf...

As can be seen, the concept is identical, and quite clear.
